Love the shots! Is there any plant they won't eat? They ate my tomatoes and tomato plant.

Wow, that's odd. I thought tomato plants were somewhat toxic (belladonna family)

To humans, yes. But to squirrels, don't know if it caused a problem. I watched them eat it, was a very dry summer and food was not readily available.

I see that the destroying of tomatoes ( and also the plants) by squirrels is a big problem. Apparently they are looking for moisture.
I found this among others:

I am not arguing with the article as reported, but I watched them eat everything. There was nothing left when they finished, but the roots of two plants. This was done over two days.

Nasty critters! You need to put the plants in cages, I guess!
